Honestly and respectfully, that wasn’t my experience...in 2015. Much less now.
When I got my 981 CS in 2015, I also drove a base 991, 1M, and 991 CS...and the 1M was a distant 4th. A faaaaar distant 4th, from both a looks, tech, and (especially) driving experience perspective - it was a hell of a bargain in 2011, but it’s expensive now because it’s production numbers were
artificially limited. It was an experiment, albeit a cool one, by BMW to see if people still wanted a small RWD M car. Turns out that about 6,000 (I forget the exact number) people worldwide were willing to pay for a MT only car with the 135 engine and bug eyes.
I’m glad that was the case, because we got the M2, M2C, and I’m sure the M2CS out of that experiment (all better cars in every objective test).
But don’t get it twisted...the 1M is not anywhere near the level of a car that can regularly command $92,000...and fun is a subjective application, not a factual one.
